7.2.9.4. Lane Full Interface
A special case of the accumulate signal for the most downstream zone is referred to as Lane Full Interface.
When Lane Full Interface is used on the most downstream zone; the input signal is treated with a block and
clear timer such that when the signal is energized, the signal must remain energized for the “block” timer
duration. When the block timer expires, then the zone is set to accumulate. Similarly, when the signal is de-
energized, the signal must remain de-energized for the “clear” timer duration. When the clear time expires,
the zone is set to release as normal. The Lane Full Interface also disables the Arrival Jam detection logic
such that no arrival verification signal from downstream is required. This means that if the signal is off (and
the clear time has expired) items arriving at the most downstream sensor will immediately release.
Assuming the most downstream zone is
connected to the right side of the module;
we set the Right Aux I/O Pin 2 to Lane
Full Interface from the drop-down box
and make sure we click the “DOWN”
arrow to indicate that the Right Pin 2
signal is to be associated with the
Downstream Zone. The signal must be
energized for the Block time period before
cartons will stop and accumulate and the
signal must be de-energized for the Clear
time period before cartons will be allowed
to release. In this example, we entered 5
seconds for the Block Time and 6
seconds for the Clear Time
